Nashville Predators veteran Steven Stamkos registered his 600th career goal Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Stamkos' milestone marker came on a vintage one-timer from the left circle on the power play.

He's the 22nd player in NHL history to achieve the feat and is likely to pass Jarri Kurri (601), Dino Ciccarelli (608), and Bobby Hull (610) on the all-time goals list this season.

Stamkos' tally Wednesday marked his 18th of the campaign. Red-hot lately, he's on track to eclipse his disappointing 27-goal output from last season, his first with the Predators.

The 35-year-old previously spent 16 years with the Tampa Bay Lightning, scoring 555 goals, winning two Stanley Cups, and earning a pair of "Rocket" Richard trophies with the Bolts.
